DADGAD

Working the thumb..

Experimenting with different tunings opened up a huge door for creative story telling.. "Bid ME Try"

Writing "Trav" was a process..

Grieving badly..

The day I got that phone call I could not bear the news

For awhile I lost it all And I just wept for you

Oh I was not ready To embrace the tragic news

Left me so unsteady Left me dazed and bruised

 

But Trav I loved you more than simple words can say

My soul is sick and sore Now on my knees I'll pray

I should have told you how Blessed I was to have.

Those special days Trav…

 

Do you recall that hot day That summer on the creek

Swinging from the trees to play That water cooled our feet

Oh how you loved to build things How much you loved to fish

 And uncle Tony has a special ring That’s one thing I’m gonna miss

 

Trav I loved you more than simple words can say

My soul is sick and sore now So on my knees I’ll pray

Cause I understand it now How blessed I was to have.

Those special days Trav…

 

Do you recall that fun day  When they left you far behind

They didn't mean to drive away But I heard you did not mind.

You were always a brave one And nobody could top your style

You were liked by everyone We’ll miss your quirky smile..

 

Trav I loved you more than simple words can say

My soul is sick and sore now I wish you were here today 

I would have told you how Blessed I was to have.

Those special days Trav

 

Bridge: 

And I pray to god to help me heal from all of my regret 

Truth be told I need this pain to help me not forget 

But heaven knows I’m feeling this yet.. Feeling this yet…

 

That day I got that phone call I could not bear the news.. 

And for a while I lost it all and I just wept for you..

The day I got that phone call I could not bear the news…

I STILL YEARN FOR MORE

Jesus heals a  blind man..  "Still Yearn For More"   Mark 10:46

 

The sun was shining bright When I heard their sound I 

was soakin up the morning light On the edge of town

 

I come here every day To beg here in my spot

Listen hearing what they’d say Sometimes say allot

 

When I asked em why the fuss? Said have you heard the news?

It’s Jesus of Nazareth He’s passing through

 

Well I cried out son of David  Have mercy Lord on me

Then some of them said just save it  Let the master be

 

But I could not restrain  The hope inside my chest

I cried out from my deepest pain No I could not let it rest

 

When I heard kindness in His voice  That’s when I could tell

And I knew it was His choice He only wished me well. 

What would you have me do  I heard Him ask of me

Lord make my dreams come true Give my sight to me

 

He said receive your sight Your faith has set you free

And He appeared in the morning light I saw Him smile at me

Felt love for the first time  Like I’d never known before

Truth is it still blows my mind I still yearn for more

 

Well that was many years ago I followed him in the way

I’ve seen much there’s much to know  But I still hear Him say

 

What would you have me do  I heard Him ask of me

Lord make my dreams come true Give my sight to me

 

He said receive your sight Your faith has set you free

And He appeared in the morning light I saw Him smile at me

Felt love for the first time  Like I’d never known before

Truth is it still blows my mind I still yearn for more

 

Well that was many years ago  I followed him in the way

I’ve seen much there’s much to know But I still hear Him say 

What would you have me do  I heard Him ask of me

Lord make my dreams come true Give me sight to see

 

The sun was shining bright  When I heard their sound

I was soakin up the morning light On the edge of town
